Its a place built for outdoor enthusiasts who live for fall mornings in a treestand, spring gobbles echoing through hardwoods, and summer evenings spent chasing walleyes and smallmouth on the Mississippi backwaters. This is not just landits a lifestyle. Access is dialed in. The property enjoys two established easements off Oak Grove Ridge Road, one from the west and another from the east, allowing you to approach the heart of the property with intention and strategy.

Several custom-built box blinds are already in place, positioned over proven deer corridors that have been quietly producing for years. These stands overlook natural movement routes that dont need gimmicksjust patience and good timing. The land itself is classic Driftless magic. Four dominant ridge systems roll outward into a maze of timbered fingers, side-hill benches, and subtle saddles that funnel wildlife with surgical precision. These arent random crossingstheyre generational travel routes etched into the hillsides over decades of use. Deer trails carve through the ridges like cattle paths, converging in predictable pinch points that set up beautifully for early-season patterns, peak-rut cruising, and late-season food pushes. This is a property that hunts well in every phase, year after year. The surrounding neighborhood only sweetens the deal. The estate borders large, privately owned tracts and sits near neighboring row-crop fields that act as destination food sources, pulling deer through this property daily.

A virgin tract of Driftless bluff country that checks the boxes serious buyers wait years to findsize, access, topography, timber quality, neighborhood, and proximity to the Mississippi River.
